... Because the stuff available on the local Brazilian market is absolute rubbish. Somehow, my Sedicivalvole managed to get this far with the majority of its original components intact, but, if I have to rely on Brazilian parts when something important does decide to break, I'll be royally screwed. :bang:
So, any information you guys could share regarding both original and performance parts would be highly appreciated. I'd love to know what companies make the good stuff, which parts fit on the Tipo and which don't and where to look for them. I have some contacts in Europe already (Italy, Portugal and Germany/Denmark) who could hunt said parts for me, so location isn't really a concern.
At the moment, my main concerns are engine and suspension, which are subjected to the most abuse from our "asphalt" and gasoline. I'm also looking for the original 15 inch alloy wheels, since Brazilian Tipos were sold with 14 inchers and the original badges, since mine are a little worn out.
Sorry for the long post and for not really knowing what I'm looking for, but, being used to old American cars, this is all really foreign to me...
